Elsa & all- I really enjoy the conversation and lovely photos of your garden, Elsa....next best thing to being there in person!
On the topic of diamond dusting, I wanted to add one MDB and three SDBs that are just stellar examples:

This is an SDB by P.Black called Fancy Sparkler. At first I thought it was rather dark and dull- until I caught it in the sunlight. Wow! every one of those golden veins on the hafts just magnifies the light!

This is Ahhh, an MDB, and the entire bloom just sparkles. It's in the small but mighty category for me, not to mention being one of the very first to bloom.

Then, SDB Golden Apricot that also sparkles all over, but is highlighted by a marvelous golden edging, very thin. Very hard to capture in a photo.

And lastly, SDB Blueberry Tart definitely fits the bill!
